1 DRAFT Minutes of the meeting of THE SCOTTISH ARCHAEOLOGICAL FINDS ALLOCATION PANEL 11am Wednesday 10 th July 2013 NMS, Chambers Street, Edinburgh Present: Neil Curtis (acting as chair), John Urquhart, Jennifer Siswell (MGS), In attendance: Stuart Campbell (TTU), Andrew Brown (QLTR Solicitor). Mr Campbell took the minutes Apologies: Dr Evelyn Silber, Mr Richard Welander, Mr David Connolly, Ms Jilly Burns 1. Chair Remarks In the absence of Dr Silber Mr Curtis had agreed to act as chair for this meeting in accordance with Section 3 in the SAFAP terms of reference (Treasure Trove Code of Practice, Appendix A, p26) 2. Minutes of Last Meeting The minutes were accepted as an accurate record of the meeting held on Thursday 28 March 2013, with the provision that a suitable record be included regarding the lowering of the ex gratia awards for cases 307/12-312/ QLTR Business Proposed External meeting at Stirling It was agreed that the details and date of the event should be finalised in the near future and a list of invitees drawn up. Code of Practice Review AB provided a brief update on the response to the consultation so far. Excavation assemblages and reporting as TT SC discussed the recent issue of the Udal assemblage where for unavoidable reasons, the standard of the material would be below the museum ready as required by the Code of Practice. It seemed clear also that as older assemblages were declared (often by third parties) this situation would arise again as funding may not be in place to ensure the post-excavation and other work achieved a certain

2 standard. It was agreed that it was essential in such cases to make the situation clear to museums before they applied for such material. 4. Treasure Trove Unit Report SC discussed the current outreach program and the plans to develop this to workshops aimed at heritage professionals as well as metal detector users. Events of this nature were planned for and Inverness in the next few months. The number of cases claimed by the Unit had increased sharply and by the July meeting of SAFAP was likely to be around 100, as compared with 122 (for chance finds) for all of the previous year. SC also tabled samples of a new TTU finds poster; it was planned to produce one of these for each period to help finders know which objects were significant enough to report. 5. New cases Chance finds cases TT No. Description Ex gratia Allocation 313/12 16 coins from a 540 Kirriemuir Gateway to 314/12 4 coins from a 120 Kirriemuir Gateway to 315/12 5 coins from a 150 Kirriemuir Gateway to 316/12 1 coins from a 30 Kirriemuir Gateway to 317/12 6 coins from a 195 Kirriemuir Gateway to 318/12 3 coins from a 90 Kirriemuir Gateway to
